Theologies, no matter their designations, are public measures -
they disclose as well as gauge the publics (near and far) on which
they stand, sit, lie, or fall. Because publics shift and mingle,
theologies require reimagining and relocating, and embracing fresh
insights and energies. The insights and energies embraced in this
work are in three clusters: spaces, bodies, technologies. The
spotlighted spaces are in Africa, Asia, Black America, Caribbean,
and Pasifika - beyond the eyes of mainline theologies; the
privileged bodies have survived, with scars from, empire and
missionary positionings; and the welcomed technologies include
Dalit, indigenous, art, poetry, cyborg, and the novel. This
collection is troubling in several ways: first, reimagining and
relocating are troubling acts upon their subject matter - here,
public theologies. On that note, what theology is not public?
Second, this work takes theologies in general, and not just the
theologies that carry the "public" designation, to be public
theologies. Third, this work takes theologies (in general) to be
inherently troubling. In other words, theologies that are not
troubling are not public enough.
